driftlab did you contact the other guy and tell him he is a fuck face for stealing your shit?
We can all gang up on him and email him nasty emails.

It's the old spraypaint drip.

this rip goes far beyond the use of woodgrain patterns.

If you say so

I don't think its a direct rip, just heavily influenced.

look at the gears on the top of the rip and then notice them in driftlab's site.
colors, typestyles, the whole enchilada.

I would not call it a rip but some serious plagiarizing.
- jakeyj0
it has to sort of feel good to be ripped though. i mean somebody thought your site was real hot if they wanted to totally steal it.

It's all good. This version of our site was one last hoorah at a definite 'style' before we jump on the stripped-down 'just show the work and shutup' band-wagon.
Which I think might happen sooner than later. If I can come up for air sometime in the next couple of months.
As for the inspired site. Bah, let the kid have his fun.

I don't know, jake. The guys at http://www.wefail.com say that if you get ripped, it means you suck. I guess because it means somebody can easily pull off something you've done.
But then I've seen a rip or two of their work. Shoot I don't know.
- jakeyj0
take it as a complement man. i would.
- Mimio0
They could ahve atleast done a better job of ripping you off.
- driftlab0
hehe i don't know mimio. I kind of like some of his wood textures.

influuuuuuuuuuuuence. it's the sincerest form of flattery. the way creative people hold on to ideas because they are precious or original or whatever is laughable. hip hop is copying and recontextualizing, and if you can't appreciate that? your whole perspective is wack.

good point rockemsockem.

spent, you did wood AND ink drips, you pimp you!
